Das Verschwinden des Josef Mengele

Olivier Guez's factual novel about the escape and pursuit of Joseph Mengele, the camp doctor of Auschwitz, is told as a fast-paced graphic novel. In 1949, Josef Mengele arrives by ship in Buenos Aires. Hiding under various pseudonyms, the former torturer from Auschwitz believes he can reinvent his life. He encounters a dense network of other refugees and supporters, as Perón's Argentina is welcoming and the whole world wants to forget the Nazi crimes. However, the Mossad, Nazi hunter Simon Wiesenthal, and Attorney General Fritz Bauer resume their pursuit of Mengele, prompting him to flee to Brazil via Paraguay. A thrilling chase begins, culminating in Mengele's mysterious death on a beach in Brazil in 1979, ending his 30-year flight abruptly. This is a fast-paced and gripping comic adaptation of Olivier Guez's award-winning novel about the escape and hunt for Mengele, the bestial "Angel of Death" from Auschwitz.
